Hello,
Yes, you should not take Propranolol. This is because it blocks each receptor where a cardiac selective beta blocker is present, like Metoprolol, Atenolol or Bisoprolol.
Olmesartan is of a totally different category, an anti-hypertensive drug. They both work very differently and each has their specific indications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
